In depth
Verdict
It was soft going when Yorkindness went close at Ripon last month while Tarbat Ness has improved for the application of cheekpieces but also races on faster ground today. TRAILBAZER was upped in trip at Musselburgh last time still looking for a first win and ran well for third. There looks more to come over this distance and he’s taken to confirm running with Zephlyn. Hellenista is back on a winning mark while Two Auld Pals placed over a shorter trip at Ayr last time.
